Kevin James

It’s back to the stand-up stage for the “King”-ly Kevin James, who makes two appearances in Oklahoma this weekend. The star of film (“Grown Ups 2,” “Here Comes the Boom”) and television (“The King of Queens”) will be at the Rose State Performing Arts Theatre, 6000 Trosper Road, in Midwest City at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7.

Tickets to the Midwest City show are $49.50-$65, available at www.myticketoffice.com. You have another chance to catch James when he plays the Cox Business Center in Tulsa, 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 8.
